lappinitup 629 Posted December 29, 2011 First Division where leaders Charlton, (9-2-1-23-10) who have lost only one game all season, are at Leyton Orient (3-3-6-12-18) who are just one point above the drop zone.Leyton Orient v Charlton........away win. Good luck Graham and a happy and prosperous new year to PUP''s everywhere. [Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jed exodous 0 Posted December 29, 2011 Evening pups This week, i''ll be mostly going for Crawley (9-1-2 28f 11a) to beat lowly Barnet (2-2-7 11f 22a) I wanted to pick a team nobody else has yet, and, while i''m sure Man U will beat Blackburn, with half the picks already going that way, I thought i''d go for one of the other ''bankers''. Crawley lost their 15 match unbeaten run last time out against Gillingham, but the had to play around 3/4 of the game with 10 men. They have 2 players in the top 5 scorers in Tubbs and Barnett. Barnet do have the league leading scorer themselves in Mcleod (A player we were regularly linked with 4 or 5 years ago, ah how times change) but they lost 3-0 to dag and red last time out, a team only now 3rd from bottom, sooooo Crawley should really have too much for Barnet. Good luck GH and good luck pups... Happy new year as well guys and gals... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,778 Posted December 30, 2011 Jed .. I was also going to pick Crawley until I noticed it was tonight. You can hold on to that pick if you want but Graham can''t put it in his six. It''s up to you buddy. Sorry I didn''t get back to you about your winning streak. You''ve asked me twice now and my only excuse is age!! [:)] Your winning streak is 21 including the last five weeks of last season. Two years ago Mr Bump picked correctly in the first 31 weeks of the season. He finished the season on 39/40 and incredibly five other PUPs finished that season with over 90% correct. Norfolkchance1.. I haven''t forgotten your update to the all time stats. I will hopefully have more time next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I''m probably gonna jinx the whole thing now, but, if Crawley dont count, i''ll change to Man United then please, unoriginal, but at least it''ll count towards the final selections...

Graham Humphrey 13 Posted December 30, 2011 Right, time to make my picks for this week and what a horrendously difficult task we have here folks. Thanks to everybody who has picked for giving me as much to choose from as possible, it''s been a good effort considering the lack of choice we have. So (with the aid of some suitably obscure music playing in the background) here''s my final six:Man Utd v BlackburnSheff Utd v Hartlepool (also my pick for this week)Swansea v TottenhamLeyton Orient v CharltonWrexham v AFC TelfordGuiseley v HarrogateI would have had Crawley if it wasn''t for a technicality (i.e. they''re playing tonight). I was tremendously tempted by Reading (top marks for those who picked them by the way) but our Suffolk fiends have a habit of throwing spanners in the works at the most inconvenient moment. And Cardiff, too, but I''ve already gone for two away wins and I can''t imagine netting three in one week.So there we have it - I feel that''s the best I could muster in a very tricky week so I''ll be keeping my fingers crossed from 12.45pm tomorrow (in between sessions of drinking cider, natch) and hope that somehow it''ll all turn out fine. (Oh, and thanks to ''Nana for his nice comments - I appreciate it and the money will be in your account tomorrow [;)]. Also, I can''t help but notice my squeaky-clean reputation has taken something of a battering from everyone else in recent months - I can''t possibly think why, what with my always-impeccable behaviour and all...)
